Jeremy Brown says... >In the 1970s GM and the other US car companies really dropped the ball, and >more than 20 years later they are still trying to pickup the pieces. What do you mean by that? How did they drop the ball? > >Oldsmobile: >These cars are supposed to compete with the C-Class >Mercades, Audi A-6, and Saab 9-5. The key word is "supposed", HA! Don't make me laugh too hard! There is just no comparison. > >Buick: >The styling of these cars has gotten better in the last few years, I agree with this. I had a Buick so I always noticed them and frankly - for a while, they were nothing to look at. Who cares about Tiger Woods anyway? >I think the GM purchase of Saab is to use Saab to replace the Oldsmobile, >period. Oh! Interesting, >I look at Saab with the hope that GM treats this >company like it does Saturn and lets it decide how to make its cars. If it >does, I believe Saab will flourish in the marketplace, and if GM tries to >micromanage the company, than Saab will be lost. Good point, but what is the first thing a company does when it takes over another company? >That would be a true loss. Hey, maybe it will drive up the price of the older models. > >I am a Snaab, and will always be. >Jeremy Good article Jeremy ~J~
